On June 25, 2009, President Obama announced that in the next 9 days,
USCIS intended to launch an improved USCIS website (at www.uscis.gov)
that would better assist customers in managing their immigration needs
and maintaining up-to-date information on the status of their cases.
As part of this larger initiative, USCIS has now launched an online,
E-Notification initiative for immigration applications/petitions filed
at one of three Lockbox locations (Chicago, Phoenix and Lewisville
[TX]). Individuals that file their applications/petitions at one of
these locations will now have the option of receiving an email and/or
text message providing verification that the application or petition
has been accepted by USCIS.
Individuals wishing to receive E-Notification should complete Form
G-1145, the E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance form, and
attach it to the top of their application or petition. Information you
share in this form will be used by USCIS to contact you via email
and/or text message.
